While digging through the company closet, I found two 286 PCs, each
of which had an (apparently) functional hard drive in them.  But
I can't figure out what they are and how big they are.  If you
have heard of these beasts (or know of a disktab for them!) please
let me know.

  mystery drive #1:  Full height, 5 1/4, Seagate 4026
  mystery drive #2:  half height, 3 1/2, Miniscribe 8425

I'm guessing that both of these drives are MFM (or possibly IDE).

Correct answers will be rewarded with the "Guru of the Week" award. :-P

Thanks
